Hi Dan, thank you for your comment. We are both well aware of the problems with current regulation. I personally believe however that the problem of excess deaths is multidimensional and complex (see all our posts on the topic and the ones coming out this morning and tomorrow morning).

We are also working on a post showing how the British Health Minister completely sidestepped a question in the House on the whole issue. There is no single cause, and teasing all the variables out the equation and weighing them is a big job but not an impossible one. The problem is that governments are the only ones with access to the data and they are also the ones that stand to lose most from a properly conducted investigation.

Best wishes, Tom

Hi Dick, thank you for the comment which is very useful to help us communicate better.

We are working on another couple of posts along the same line. We do not know why governments around the world do not seem to take the problem seriously and as you say the vacuum is breeding conspiracy theories. Best wishes, Tom

Thanks for the podcast. It adds a lot to hear you two discussing issues rather than just reading your notes. Like you, I am astounded by the authorities' lack of concern to investigate what's happening. I hate myself for thinking it, since it makes me sound like a conspiracy theorist, but their silence on the subject suggests that evidence does exist that they don't want to be investigated.
